Hi and welcome Keri. If they are that great surely one of them can identify your UFO :lol:

Welcome to the fishroom. You might find some of us in the chat room around 9pm

There is nothing as fascinating as watching adult discus serenely gliding by with fry clinging to their sides. Hope you reach this stage soon Staplez. Can't help wth advice as I have never kept discus.

They are slow to grow and I understand they are not as nutritious when older. Most just use newly hatched ones to feed fry. Mine just grew in a container of salt water.

You'd better keep an eye on him. With keeping 2 females going you wouldn't want him to die from exhaustion

I too have sat a short fluoro economy bulb on the glass lid and covered it with a length of plastic guttering lined with aluminium foil. Works well and looks good. Lurk around a building site and chat up one of the builders. They are bound to have some offcuts for free

I would suspect a 'what' rather than a 'who'. I think the damage seen may have been done after they died. Any chance of looking at guts and stuff under a microscope? Was there body damage as well? I would assume if they had been attacked by another fish they would show more damage rather than just missing fins.

You didn't 'get lucky' it was a result of hard work and a lot of thought. Well done!

How long has he been in the new tank with his new buddies? Is it possible he is being hassled by one of his 'mates'?

Who's had himself a handy little Christmas then! :lol: Looking good.

Depends on the plant and how much light the room gets as to whether you use any light at all but you certainly don't need uv. I use plain white fluoros (get the short economy type fluoros from the supermarket)

Many build their own or get a joiner to make wooded ones or an engineering company for steel ones.

Since you have posted here guppyover2 I removed your other post from the Fun section. I would think the angels would find the fins too tempting but as I have not kept Bettas, it may pay to wait until someone who has answers you.

My brother in law has a pond with a pipe directly into the storm water system for easy cleaning. He thought he had been careful the other day but was just in time to see 2 goldfish head down the pipe. "Oh well," he thought, "that's that." A couple of days later he wondered what had happened to the fishes so wandered down the road and looked down the storm water grill in the gutter. There he saw the 2 fish swimming around! So he fished them out (no pun intended) and took them back to the pond :lol:
